Bottle 341ml 4% Canadian version
Appearance: Pale gold with fizzy , thin white top.
Nose : of wet grain with wet towel , some honey at finish.
Flavor/Palate : Medium light bodied with thinner finish , noticeable carbonation. Off frontal feel with decent thin malty ending. Poor, even for industrial standards.

Can. I had a customer special order a 30 pack of this. He read somwhere that it is only 55 calories a can. He gave me a can to try out of the goodness of his heart. I know how they got the calories so low, the took out all the flavor. Pours a pale straw yellow with a thin head. Where’s the red hue of the traditional Pabst? The aroma is very thin, almost not there at all. The flavor is, well, it’s not there at all. I really did not taste much of anything in this beer. A hint of hops, and a muted version of the yeast. I think if more Bud Light drinkers would try this, they would switch in a heartbeat.

Crystal clear light straw color with a thin white head. Aroma is very light - a hint of something beer-like. Flavor is also very light, crisp, but with a bit of a cardboard finish. I suppose if it’s 90 degrees plus outside I might find this beer ’refreshing’ if it was cold enough...

A suggestion of regular PBR. Very pale gold with a modest head, few lacings. For an American light beer this better than many. Hard to find sometimes. Better than plain water on a hot day but needs to be served very cold for best results. Actually says brewed in Milwaulkie, Wisconsin.

Some buddies decided to try PBRL instead of PBR and I was lucky enough to try one. Light, corny sweetness with a watery finish. I did not really think it was that bad. If you are binge drinking with friends I can see this one being an okay selection.

A lighter version of the wonderful bouquet of off flavors that is PBR. The ick.
